TheWoWDBAnyone else having trouble completing this? I have bounced this ball 10, 11, 12, 15 and 20 times....still no completion. Tried exiting game, re-logging and doing it again, didn't work. Disabled all add-ons and reloaded, nothing. Anyone have any more ideas? My toon is getting so much practice bouncing this ball, she may decide to tryout for Azeroth's Volleyball League!
***Update: Flew away from boat, came back and tried one last time, and it worked!
Quest
Beach Ball Bash
A World of Warcraft quest in Thousand Needles. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
You click on the beach ball to start it and then move your character underneath the ball to continue bouncing it. (To prevent it from going off the boat, bounce it away from the sides. The ball will go where you're facing. Having your camera in a birds eye view helps.) If you bounce it 10 times and it doesn't give you credit, relog and try again.
In order to complete the quest, you must leave the area and come back. Otherwise, it will not count towards the quest.
